pg. 1, 6


At the city council meeting of March 2, 1915, City Attorney Joe P. Cox, Jr. presented to the council the ordinance concerning the building of sidewalks ordered by the city.  The ordinance was passed "under a suspension of the rules."
A petition requesting the extension of the corporate limits to take in the College addition and specifically Carr-Burdette-Carlton College was referred to a committee for investigation upon motion by Alderman J.D. Tong.  Alderman Tuck favored the motion stating that the situation concerning the city streets and alleys needed to be settled before taking in additions to the city.  The committee was ordered to investigate immediately and report at the next council meeting.
